One woman working for a group called Social Alternative Berkeley may have summed it best by saying, People are furious, not just at the results of the election, but the rhetoric of Donald Trump."

One protester in Los Angeles, where 13 people were arrested, even called for violence. In that city, people who came out against Trump blocked a part of Highway 101.

Los Angeles was also the site of a march toward City Hall where people chanted "Fight back, stand up" and "¡Si se puede," which is Spanish for "It can be done." A pinata in Trump's image was also set on fire.

Protesters in the nation's capital headed toward the Trump International Hotel chanting, "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA," as well as "not my president," while those in Chicago marched along the famed Lake Shore Drive toward that city's Trump Tower.

Similar demonstrations played out elsewhere across the nation, with one in Oakland becoming violent.
